The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

It was not yet noon and the sun should have been shining brightly, but the sky above the mountains was covered with dark clouds and it was very gloomy.

Ye Xiaohan rode a horse and led a group of guards to the front of a cave.

This is where they found the suspicious person.

This time, they were heading to three places. If they could find the group of people in the first place, they wouldn't have to continue searching for the next destination. Now they were still searching for the first destination.

Ye Xiaohan and his group walked northwards while searching on the road to narrow down the area to be searched. One of the counties they went to was the current Huangchuan County, which had two clear suspicious addresses.

One was the small town of Qingshui that they had already been to, which was also the town where the group of people had stayed. The other was the strange cave they found in the north of Huangchuan County.

Ying Er, dressed in black, appeared beside Ye Xiaohan's horse and reported the situation further.

"Your Highness, inside is the cave where the suspicious person appeared. The forest we are in now is remote, surrounded by desolate mountains. There are only a few villages and households living 20 miles away from this cave."

"However, there are signs that people have lived near this cave."

Ye Xiaohan glanced at the dense jungle in front of the cave and said "hmm". The paths on both sides of the cave had traces of slight footsteps, and the grass was sparse. But the bushes in front of the cave were unusually dense, far denser than the surrounding bushes.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Ye Xiaohan quickly gave his analysis.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Another man in black appeared beside the Red Hare, "Ying San greets His Majesty."

"How's the situation inside?"

"Your Highness, I have sent people to surround the outer perimeter of this cave. This cave seems to have only the front exit, but to be on the safe side, I have sent people to guard the back of the cave in case there is another escape route for the thieves."

"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan glanced at Ying San, then looked at Ying Er, and said to them in a calm voice: "Not bad."

Ying Er and Ying San were stunned at first, then their mouths couldn't help but curl up. The prince rarely praised people, and a compliment from the prince was even more delightful than pie in the sky.

"Go ahead." Ye Xiaohan shook the reins lightly with his big hand, and the Red Hare horse walked forward neither fast nor slow, with almost no sound of horse hooves.

The other guards followed suit and pulled the reins, urging the horses to move forward.

When the cave was right in front of him, Ye Xiaohan dismounted, faced the guards, and ordered, "Begin the search."

The guards dismounted and marched in front of the cave.

They used swords to cut through the dense vegetation, and while clearing they discovered that some of the branches of the shrubs were not originally grown in the soil, but were cut down from trees and then inserted into the short vegetation on the ground, creating the appearance that the cave was desolate, covered with vegetation, and difficult to approach.

Ye Xiaohan stood to one side, watching the guards quietly clear the way.

In the blink of an eye, his eyes flickered and he said coldly: "Be careful, there are snakes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guards quickly looked around and found some long black snakes that seemed to have ulterior motives. They appeared from nowhere and ran towards them at the same time.

Ye Xiaohan sneered. Is this just the little trick you can use to stop outsiders from entering the cave?

Normally, villagers would hunt in the mountains or pick wild vegetables and herbs, but when they saw poisonous creatures, they would leave immediately and would not dare to approach this place. I think this cave was also built with some specially cultivated poisonous snakes to scare away the people around it.

The guards drew their swords and stood still, waiting for a group of black snakes with tongues spitting out to crawl over. Behind the group of snakes came a dense group of living creatures, scorpions, centipedes, spiders and other poisonous creatures that glowed red or green.

If there were someone who was afraid of these creatures present, he would probably be scared to death seeing such a dense crowd of strange things.

The guards were well-trained, and even if some of them were a little nervous and slightly afraid, they still looked calm. Fear is human nature, but a warrior should treat fear normally even if he is afraid, and face challenges head-on, becoming more courageous as the battle progresses. Ye Xiaohan has always trained his subordinates in this way.

In an instant, the guards were calm and ready for battle.

At the same moment, Ye Xiaohan took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to a guard.

"Take it and sprinkle it in front."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard did not ask any further questions and followed the instructions.

As soon as the bottle was opened, a fresh fragrance instantly evaporated. Then, a light green liquid floated in the air, each drop was crystal clear.

As soon as the water droplets hit the ground, they evaporate instantly, leaving behind an elegant fragrance.

In the blink of an eye, those poisonous creatures twisted and struggled like crazy, and some even tried to crawl forward with their muscles instinctively, but unfortunately they all struggled for a short time. In just a few breaths, they all died suddenly, and a faint black gas came out of their bodies.

All around Ye Xiaohan and his group, especially at the entrance of the cave, more and more poisonous creatures appeared, all rushing towards Ye Xiaohan and his group.

The guards were slightly startled. Before they could make any move, the prince just moved his fingers and used a small bottle to eliminate a large group of poisons.

Ye Xiaohan said calmly to the guards: "That is the liquid medicine given by the princess. It is specifically targeted at poisonous creatures and is also harmful to wild animals, but it is harmless to humans."

Before leaving, Yun Mujiu insisted on giving Ye Xiaohan some medicine for injuries, as well as some other supplies, such as poison. She knew that Ye Xiaohan was powerful, but it would be good to have good tools at hand, which would save Ye Xiaohan and the others the effort of doing it.

The guards smiled faintly and praised: "The things given by the princess are good."

Ye Xiaohan had a blank expression on his face, but he felt a little proud in his heart. Could the things his wife gave him be bad?

With the venom that had just evaporated, all the poisonous creatures that followed one after another died suddenly.

In fact, even without the poison given by Yun Mujiu, Ye Xiaohan could lead the guards to kill these things. Ye Xiaohan was a martial arts master, and the guards were also well-trained warriors. With a palm wind from Ye Xiaohan, a living person could be killed instantly, not to mention some small toys.

But if you have good things, use them.

Ye Xiaohan and his subordinates stood quietly where they were, looking indifferently at the piles of poisonous corpses piled up around them.

Soon, no new poisonous creatures crawled over.

Ye Xiaohan said: "They are all dead. Keep moving forward."
